As one of our commenter said, this is “THE Adam Lambert Early Show” on 11.25.09

(I’m sure they are appreciating the rating boost)

Ask it early - Adam Lambert answers fans questions (GOOD questions):

- Adam goes to Japan? :
- How he put the band together
- When are you going on tour?

 

Answering the Critics:

 

Adam sounds SO GOOD with a live band. Performing “Whataya Want From Me” (High Definition) (AMAZING):

As mentioned by Michael Slezak: “From a lyrical standpoint, [Whataya Want From Me] sounded like it could’ve been written specifically as a response to a nation thrown into a tizzy by Sunday night’s crotch-fondling, beej-simulating hootenanny. The song (co-written by Pink) contains a plea for patience and understanding from a guy still finding his way in the world (“Just don’t give up/ I’m working it out /Please don’t give in/  I won’t let you down”) and a special thanks to the hard-core fans who’ve never questioned his judgment in the first place (“It’s me, I’m a freak/ But thanks for loving me/ ‘Cause you’re doing it perfectly”). I won’t lie: There was a certain poignancy hearing Adam respond to the “too gay”/”not gay enough”/”too racy”/”not well-sung”/”what about the children?” critics with his pitch-perfect refrain of “Whataya want from me?””

Adam’s Mom’s speaks (HD):

 

Performing ‘Music Again’:

Michael Slezak also commented: “I can’t imagine a more appropriate track through which Adam could send the message “let’s put the focus back on the actual songs, eh?” Adam’s band sounded slightly canned on this number — I’m guessing there was some kind of backing track supplementing the overall sound in the tiny CBS studio — but Adam’s lead vocal was stellar, especially taking into account the song’s rapid-fire wordplay and octave-scaling swoops. There aren’t many artists on the pop chart today capable of pulling that off live. Thanks, Adam, for reminding us you’re a rare bird indeed.”

So can we move on from the AMA performance now?
